The season of the year is approaching
In which doors and windows are usually
closed, and the matter of pure air be-
comes one of serious importance. During
the day, the air of living rooms is pretty
certain to be changed more or less by the
frequent opening of outside doors. During
the night, however, not infrequently all
outside openings are tightly closed, and
the occupants of sleeping rooms might as
well place themselves for the eight or
ten sleeping hours of night in an air
tight box.
In the morning, persons who thus de-
prive themselves of life giving oxygen,
the great necessity of life, awake unre-
freshed and dispirited, languid, pale and
weak, with headache, giddiness, no
appetite, and many other symptoms of
foul air poisoning, to which the system
has been subjected. This accounts for a
very large part Of the colds and physical
wretchedness, of which good many
complain and which is ordinarily ascribed
to the change of season. The system is
filled with impurities as a result of de-
ficient oxygenation of the blood, and SO
the body becomes, in high degree, sus-
ceptible to all causes of vital disturbance.
The reception of few fever germs is all
sufficient to bring on violent illness, by
setting fire to the fever breeding material
with which the tissues are filled, as the
result of deficient air cleansing. Good

Inspection at West Point.

Suddenly the drum again taps sharply.
The gray and white hocks in each COM
pany street resolve themselves into two
long parallel files, elbow to elbow, that
face suddenly outward from the center
of the camp at the last tap; the glisten-
ing rifles spring up to support arms, |"
and each first sergeant calls off his roll
as though the last thing he were thinking
of was the answering "here;" one after
another the white gloved hands snap the
pieces down to the ''carry" and "or,ler"
as each man answers to his name; the
sergeant faces his captain with soldierly
salute and takes his post; the captain
whips out his shining sword; the lieuten-
ants step to their posts-and then begins
the sharp inspection. Man after man is
passed under the scrutinizing eye of the
young officer. A speck of rust about
the rifle, dingy belt plate, soiled or
rIimpled collar, tear in the glove, a
spot on the trousers, dust on the shoes,
a single button missing or unfastened-
any one of these or similar solecisms, be
it on part of first class man or plebe,
tent mate or stranger, friend or foe, will
probably be noted on the company delin-
quency book that day, and published by
the adjutant to the whole battalion the
next evening" Charles King, United
States Army, in Harper's Magazine.

Genuine Antiauc Oak.

In boring well on farm some five
miles south Of Colusa, CAL, Mr.. Frazier,
who has the farm rented, struck piece
of wood ut a depth Of TO feet. The
wood brought up by the augur was in
an excellent state of preservation, and
was pronounced ''all oak" This place
is only fifty feet above the sea level, SO
that the wood is 1870 feet below the
oceans surface. If it was sunk there
when this valley was lake or an arm of
the bay, it was in pretty deep water.
How long since this piece of wood was in
q growing tree? The valley of course
has grown, but without some convulsion
of nature the growth has been slow, not,
perhaps, over one foot per century. Then
has it been II 900 years since this oak tree
grew?-Colusa Sum-.

1t may turn out that the Socialist contip
gent that Mr.. George expelled from the
United Labor party is larger than Mr..
George suspected. The last time the So
clallsts tried their strength in New York
city their numbers were found to be ridicu-
lousy small, but few hundred. How MANY
Socialists there were concerned in the great
upheayal that so nearly threw George into
the chair Of the mayor OF New York it has
been impossible to determine But the
futile attempt of the Socialist, Johann Most,
to become naturalized has developed some
incidental testimony as to the strength of
the Socialist party. Clerk Boese, of the Su-
perior court, says that last year about ten
thousand foreigners filed their first naturali-
zation papers in the Court of Common Pleas
and the Supreme Court This was nearly
four times the original number. 1t is sup
posed that most of these were Socialists who
! intend to vote at the next election The
clerk of the Superior Court also estimates
that the naturalized citizens of New York
city exceed the native born by at least forty
thousand and that there are enough unnat-
| uralized foreigners. were they added to the
ranks Of the naturalized, to out-vote the ma
tive born citizens two to one. The success
of a Socialstic propaganda among such
| mass of foreigners must always be uncertain
until some test vote comes up. A Socialistic
secession from Mr.. Georges party this fall
would result in such test vote that would
be very interesting census of the pure So
cialists of the metropolis

No shrewd observer thinks the farmers of
New York will support Henry George in any
numbers. When they understand that they
are to surrender their land to the State, and
then accept employment as laborers for the
State upon their own land-for that Is what
Mr. Georges theory amounts to-they may
be depended upon to support some other
man. 1t is in the cities that the George men
will make their heaviest campaign. 1t has
been planned to have in every city of over
five thousand population two mass meetings
ofthe United Labor party George himself
is expected to deliver between four and five
hundred speeches. The Anti-Poverty Socie-
tyhas constituted itself an ally of the Unit
ed Labor Party and will strive to alleviate
the poverty of the party treasury by a grand
fair. DR.. McGlynn tells them that in the
days when he was pastor he found fairs
very useful concerns for raising money, and
that he sees no reason why fair cannot be
worked in the interests of politics as well as
religion.
